Two popular authorities on healthy eating and cooking join forces in this cookbook. This is not a diet book; Andrew Weil and Rosie Daley present a lively guide to healthy everyday cooking, packed with essential nutritional information and enticing recipes, borrowing from the healthy and delicious cuisines of the Middle East, the Mediterranean, and Asia. For starters, try Grilled Satay or a Miso Pâté; for soup, a hearty Mixed-Bean Minestrone Stew or a Roasted Winter Squash and Apple Soup with Cilantro Walnut Pesto. Among the entrees are Savory Roasted Cornish Hens with Roasted Garlic; Baked Spicy Tofu with Bean Thread Noodles, Corn, and Mango; and Portobello Burgers. Weil emphasizes how to make use of nutritional information in everyday cooking, how to buy organic foods, the importance of reading labels, and the facts about sugar and artificial sweeteners, and offers sensible advice about eggs, milk, cheese, salt, spicy foods, wine, and coffee. Daley describes how to get kids involved—from skinning almonds to layering lasagna, ways to have fun in the kitchen, and smart menu planning, and provides low-fat and nondairy alternatives for those with special concerns.
